This episode was inspired by a recent post I made on Facebook about real, deep body love and acceptance. The responses to the post inspired me to being writing a piece around it during a writing workshop I attended recently in Mexico. And then, days after I’d made the post, as women were still chiming in, I realized this conversation is only just beginning. There is a lot to unpack and explore here. It’s tender and personal, but also shared because we’ve all grown up in this culture with it’s heinous messaging about and towards women and their bodies. If you are someone with a history of body issues or disordered eating, please check in with yourself first before you listen as it could be triggering. And if you’d like to add to the conversation, visit the show notes page to chime in on the Facebook thread or email us directly at hello@wildsoulmovement.com. Lots of love on this one. xo, E

Never ask permission to express your soul’s desire

I spent many years dialing down my desires for the benefit of others. Through my search for meaningful work and purpose, I stopped doing that. My deepest desire now is to help women get out of their heads and into their bodies to reconfigure our current body image culture and make self-love, trust and acceptance the new standards.
